I’m not sure if I am alone in this, but when I was a kid, I was absolutely under the impression that a meatball from Subway was the equivalent of a ticket to heaven’s gate. My God, Subway’s meatball subs had a grasp on me stronger than gorilla glue on that woman’s scalp, and you … More Let’s make meatball subs
Breakfast for dinner is something both Blaine and I appreciate and enjoy, and this past Sunday served as the perfect opportunity for us to do so. I went grocery shopping earlier in the day to grab a few items, and when I saw that hashbrowns were on sale, I deemed it appropriate to invest in … More Let’s make Lauren’s breakfast bowls
Lasagna, understandably, is a fan-favourite in the food realm. It is commonly acknowledged as a comfort food, and for good reason; layers of cheesy noodles filled with beef and smothered in a savoury tomato sauce? Yes, please. A few days ago, I threw a frozen lasagna I grabbed at some unknown point in the oven … More Let’s make skillet lasagna
When it comes to chocolate bars, I certainly have my favourites. Reese’s peanut butter cups are probably my number one choice, but, more specifically, the mega cups with actual Reese’s Pieces on top; I’m also a tremendous fan of Hershey’s Cookies and Cream bars, and Kinder Bueno’s. Despite having my go-to’s, in the instance I … More Let’s try rare chocolate bar flavours
I named this personal recipe on a bit of a whim simply to be able to insert a title for today’s post, but I do think my choice of ‘sausage sliders’ has a nice ring to it. Knowing my luck, sausage sliders are probably very much a thing already, and I’m here just perpetuating their … More Let’s make sausage sliders
I certainly am not expecting anyone to know what exactly Hungarian Haluski is, regardless if you have a Hungarian background or not. Hungarian Haluski is a savoury dish. I was unaware of what its name was, but I was familiar with the dish as my Nagymama had made it before, and since she, my sister. I … More Let’s make Hungarian HaluskiÂ
I am an absolute fiend for just about anything cheeseburger-flavoured. I love me a solid cheeseburger as well, of course, but for some bizarre reason, cheeseburger-flavoured dishes aside from an actual cheeseburger itself get me positively going. Cheeseburger-flavoured creations aren’t tremendously popular in my own observations, arguably because most people prefer a cheeseburger to something … More Let’s make cheeseburger dip
Today’s discussion of all things cold brew coffee is a continuation of yesterday’s post addressing the same subject matter. Without trying to give the impression of stark ignorance, I had no idea cold brew coffee is so intricate, hence why I’ve dedicated two posts to the topic; I am pleased, however, that I was inspired … More How much do you know about cold brew coffee? (part two)
If you were to split me open right now, there is a strong chance that coffee as opposed to blood would come spilling out. That’s a rather bold way to open this post, but now that I have your attention, let’s proceed on the topic of coffee, shall we? Anyone who knows me can attest … More How much do you know about cold brew coffee?
I can recall attempting to make monkey bread when I was probably about 12 years old. I don’t think it turned out so well, but up until now, I was under the impression monkey bread is always sweet, made with cinnamon. My understanding of monkey bread has shifted, however, thanks to a recipe I came … More Let’s make savoury monkey bread
You really cannot go wrong with a calzone, in my own humble opinion. You can’t really go wrong with pizza, either, for that matter, and since calzones are, in my own interpretation, a modified version of a pizza in a way, it makes sense both types of foods are so sought after. I don’t eat … More Let’s make homemade calzones
I deemed the official start to soup season on the first day of winter, but given the frigid temperatures here in Ontario as of late, I think now is an even more appropriate time to enjoy some hot, steamy soup. That said, soup can be consumed and enjoyed at any temperature or season. Just asserting … More Let’s make homemade chicken noodle soup
Whenever I hear the term ‘cowboy beans,’ I can’t help but chuckle a little bit. I’m not certain, but given my background in agriculture, I think the use of the word cowboy is intended to signify that the dish in question is hearty, filling and sustaining – cowboys need to eat well in order to … More Let’s make some hearty Cowboy Beans
Never did I think I would come across a food establishment on Christmas day to review, but I suppose stranger things have happened. Backtracking a little bit, but this past Christmas, Blaine and I found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. We were visiting Blaine’s parents and left later than we anticipated, and because … More Have you tried Tahini’s in Brantford?
When I tell you that I am a creature of habit when it comes to what I eat in a given day, I ain’t lying. Granted, I’m a creature of habit with just about anything in my life, and because I do love me a structured routine, what I eat for lunch and dinner doesn’t … More Let’s make grilled cheese
For anyone who read the title of today’s post and thought to themselves: chicken parmesan is already wonderful, why does it require an upgrade? – fair enough, honestly. Chicken parmesan is considered to be a comfort food dish for good reason, and to be completely candid, I don’t necessarily think it needs anything more added … More Here’s how to upgrade your chicken parmesan
I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago that for Blaine’s family Christmas gathering, one of the items I was asked to contribute was a dessert of some sort. I wasn’t entirely sure what dessert specifically I was going to bring, but I did manage to narrow it down to cookies of some … More Here’s how to make some s’mores cookies
The Holiday season, sadly, is something that a lot of us associate with stress and anxiety. This association does not apply to everyone; rather, there are people who find this time of year purely magical, and for those people, I am happy on their behalf. I enjoy the Christmas season, but it is a time … More Being mindful during the Holidays
For our Christmas gathering this year with my husband’s family, I have been asked to bring two things. The first is a cheese platter, which is easy enough, and the second is some sort of dessert. The criteria pertaining to what sort of dessert I will be bringing specifically remains undisclosed, and I’ve been trying … More Let’s make Christmas sugar cookies
I’ve never actually made beef Wellington, but I have sampled it. I realize that doesn’t do this particular post any justice seeing as it is a recipe post, and I’m not going to pretend that I have, in fact, used this recipe to compose a Beef Wellington. But, I suppose my intention is to encourage … More Let’s make Beef Wellington
When I stumbled across the recipe for Bacon Pickle Pizza, I was immediately intrigued. I love pickles, specifically dill, and furthermore, I can appreciate recipes that incorporate dill pickle flavour into non-traditional dill pickle dishes. Oftentimes you’ll see recipes for dill pickle dips, which is fine and dandy, but when a recipe including dill pickle … More Let’s make bacon pickle pizza
I’m not a huge potato chip eater. My mom never really bought chips nor kept them in the house when my sister and I were growing up, much to my dad’s dismay, and I think an absence of them has allowed me to carry on through life without giving much thought to them. I like … More Love Fritos? Make this recipe tonight
I am an avid pickle lover – always have been, and arguably always will be. My preference is dill, and while I’m not a huge fan of sweet, or bread-and-butter pickles, if they’re the only pickles available, I will lower my standards and eat them. I’m all for pickle-inspired dishes, too, since we are on … More Costco Partini Fried Dill Pickle Chips: hit or miss?
I’ll begin this post with utmost transparency – the recipe I will be focusing on and sharing with all of you today is one I haven’t yet had the opportunity to make. I was planning on making this dish this past weekend, as Blaine and I were set to have friends over for dinner, but, … More Let’s make creamy chicken pasta
On our way home from The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto a few days ago, my family and I found ourselves getting a wee bit hungry. My dad mentioned earlier on in the day that he had a place in mind for a dinner spot, although he was being a bit secretive about it, … More Have you visited Jake’s Grill and Oyster House?
Sometimes, late at night, if I can’t sleep, I’ll hit up Pinterest for some new and enticing recipes. If one is having difficulty falling asleep, is using a smartphone the best idea? Absolutely not, and I am aware of that, but thank you in advance, Becky. Moving on. For whatever bizarre reason, scrolling through Pinterest … More Let’s make garlic butter pasta
While I haven’t had oatmeal in a hot minute, I did, for a while, eat it every day for breakfast. I would always make mine with milk, or water, depending on the day, and enjoyed adding cinnamon, banana and brown sugar. I follow Camilla Lorentzen on Instagram, and her wife as well. The two of … More Do you cook your oatmeal with an egg? (hint, apparently you should)
On Sunday, Blaine and I were in Brantford, running a few errands together. It was later in the day, and he proposed that we grab some dinner while in town so I didn’t have to cook, an idea I fully supported. He suggested pizza and Subway, and considering I genuinely cannot recall the last time … More Subway rice bowls: yay or nay?
I couldn’t even tell you the last time I had coffee cake, but, for whatever reason, when I was brainstorming some recipe ideas for today’s post, coffee cake was one of the first things that came to mind. I figure this is my subconscious attempting me to remind me of just how long it’s been … More Let’s make coffee cake
I can’t exactly pinpoint the first time I ever had the pleasure of eating food from Chipotle, but it was quite a few years ago now. If I am not mistaken, I first sampled Chipotle stateside as the franchise hadn’t yet made its way to Canada, and I think I have a chicken burrito bowl. … More Let’s make mock Chipotle burrito bowls
